An original vintage 1970s consumer advocacy guide issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT). Titled A Consumers\' Guide to Automobile Inspection, this stapled document was created under Pennsylvania Governor Milton J. Shapp and Secretary of Transportation Jacob Kassab to explain the state\'s vehicle inspection laws, motorist rights, and ways to avoid unfair mechanic charges or illegal inspection stickers (\"hot paper\").
